Phil Robertson Just Offered Trump a Once-in-a-Lifetime “Baptism”

In recent weeks, Republican nominee Donald Trump has attempted to reach out to evangelical voters in an attempt to alleviate any concerns they might have about voting for him in November.

Several of Trump’s most prominent surrogates have worked diligently to convince evangelicals that Trump had their interests in mind and that beneath his tough exterior was a man who does have a relationship with God.

One of Trump’s most vocal surrogates, Phil Robertson, stunned many people at the Values Voter Summit on Friday when he publicly offered to baptize Trump.

“I told (Trump) if you really wanted to see something wild … film me baptizing you,” he stated.

“The left-wingers will literally go crazy,” he added, “and the evangelicals will swarm you like a mighty throng.”

While some have decried Robertson’s comments as little more than a political stunt, Robertson appeared to be quite earnest in his remarks.

Robertson has offered to baptize other people, like Fox News’ Sean Hannity, so his statements really weren’t that out of character for the man.

Much of Robertson’s speech was devoted to calling out Americans for turning away from God and proclaiming that society was falling apart at the seams because of the mass rejection of Christianity.

“Thomas Jefferson had it right,” Robertson stated before offering to baptize Trump. “Our rights come from God. If you allow men to step in and decide for you what your rights are gonna be, look out because the slaughter’s fixin’ to take place.”

While Trump may not be the perfect candidate for evangelical voters, they should take a hard look at the alternative. Trump has his flaws, no doubt, but they are microscopic compared to those of Hillary Clinton.
